Greetings, Our spring season brings us performances from three of our awesome partner arts organizations. Director, Charles Leslie, has an amazing season planned at the Community Concert Hall as he presents over 20 performances. We are sure to laugh, dance, sing, celebrate and be inspired! In his final season, San Juan Symphony Music Director, Arthur Post bids us a “joyous farewell”. He promises an exciting program highlighting a selection of classics – both traditional and contemporary. We wish him much success in his next role and thank him for providing 13 years of musical delights from this very talented organization! Durango Choral Society’s Artistic Director, Dr. Linda Mack directs these beautiful voices with FOUR performances - ending their 45th season with Mozart: A Man for All Seasons. Enjoy the season and all its glory with so many wonderful offerings in the arts! Denise Leslie
